I thought the inspiration teapot looked like a hot air balloon so I started using the new Stampin' Up set Up, Up and Away. My mind took a turn and I stamped them upside down and made them Christmas ornaments instead. This looks so cool in real life with the hanging "icicles" whih I made from this image from the new My Friend set. Embossed it in silver and then used Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds, it looks like a glass bubble. Hard to get a picture here today with no sunshine.
For the hanger and line I embossed the bottom of the balloon basket and drew a straight line up with my Versamark pen, embossed in gold.
Lovely As A Tree in Olive and Artichoke, sentiment in Cherry Cobbler is from Christmas Greetings.
Ornaments stamped in Eggplant, Cherry Cobbler, Wisteria Wonder, and Poppy Parade.

Wow Joanne, this is awesome! Super creative, I love it when stamps have other uses, what a beautiful Christmas card! Love those icicles too, I really thought they were those sticker things, I'm going to have to try this!
